port. It was built between 1817 and 1842 and it is widely recognised as one of
the finest artificial harbours in the world. It is
also one of Irelands busiest marine leisure and ferry ports as well as being the
main port of operation for the Irish Lights Service. It has held World,
European, National and many international sailing events in and around the
harbour.
